Awesome Canteen in Paramount Garden, Petaling Jaya

Healthy? Heck yes, but not many places in the Klang Valley offer food designed to cater for Paleo diet devotees. Enter Awesome Canteen in Paramount Garden, Petaling Jaya to save the day. Step into the hipster cafe and you will be greeted by not one but two huge potted trees in the dining area flanked by smaller potted plants on every table, blending harmoniously with the contemporary design.

Awesome Canteen is fitted out with recycled furniture and fittings, with hanging lamps that give it a warm ambiance. Yes, there’s the ubiquitous glass cabinet filled with old-skool stationery, board games, and an eclectic mix of retro items like an old TV, lampshades and an old rusty typewriter.



There’s a semi-private table at the end of the restaurant which feels like you’re dining in a garden with a wall lush with vertical greenery. This area does provide some privacy away from the normal crowd.



Paleo Beef Burger (RM 21.90)

The choice of huge chicken or beef patty is accompanied by a side of salad, sweet potatoes and scrambled egg. Sauteed portobello mushroom, grilled pumpkin, mesclun salad, and house made guacamole complete your meal. The sprinkling of pomegranate seeds on the salad not only added an exotic feel but added a welcome visual splash of ruby red color.



Mushroom Swiss Cheese Melt Chicken Burger (RM 16.90)

The Swiss cheese melt provides a luscious and moist bite to the minced chicken patty. The side of sweet caramelised onion went really well with the Swiss cheese.



Mexican Spicy Beef Gourmet Burger (RM 21.90)

Tabasco grilled beef patty, melted pepper jack cheese, tomato and guacamole salsa, grilled chilli, cheddar cheese with poppy seed bun.


Definitely on our list of favorites to visit again and again.
